oh 5h1t !!!!!

When, with turnout frequently falling below 30% in local elections, will the Great British public finally understand that (in the continued absence of a "None of the Above" vote) the only way to register your political protest is to 'spoil' your ballot paper?

As far as I can see, the only way to radically change the way politics works in our country involves:

1. Actually 'turning out' to vote.
2. Writing 'Spoiled Ballot' across your ballot paper.
3. Posting your 'protest' vote in the ballot box.

At least this way, the politicians will finally understand that the electorate actually cares.

Our continued failure to 'turn out' only means that we end up 'electing' the candidates we deserve.
